Brooklyn threesome killer sobs behind bars over girlfriend’s deceit: ‘I threw my life away for a f---ing lie’
He raced to his lover’s defense, killing a man he thought raped his girlfriend in a three-way tryst — and now he sits in jail fearing she set him up.
A disheveled Christopher Membreno was stunned on Saturday to learn that police believe the ménage à trois in Brooklyn involving his girlfriend and two men was consensual.
“I threw my life away for a f---ing lie? My life is over because of a f---ing lie?” a weeping Membreno asked a Daily News reporter in an exclusive jailhouse interview.
The 24-year-old said he barely remembers what happened early Monday after his girlfriend called him claiming she had been raped in Park Slope.

She sounded “distraught, scared,” he said.
Membreno rounded up some friends and they went looking for 20-year-old Manos Ikonomidis.
They found him leaving the apartment where the girlfriend had the steamy threesome.
“I just wanted some f---ing justice,” Membreno said at Rikers Island. “I wanted to hold him until the police got there.”

But cops say Membreno and his posse set upon Ikonomidis with bats and knives, leaving him to die in a pool of blood in the hallway of the building before taking off.
Membreno claims he was high at the time and doesn’t remember many details of the murder.
...
“Did she set me up? I deserve to know the truth,” he told The News.
Membreno said he hasn’t spoken to his girlfriend since being locked up — adding that he hasn’t slept or showered in five days.
“This is my life now,” he said, ripping open his beige jail jumpsuit and grabbing it in his fist. “I can’t do it anymore. I really don’t know what I have to live for.”

Membreno, facing murder and criminal possession of a weapon charges, said he harbors no ill will against his girlfriend.
“I still love her even though she set me up,” he said. “I don’t know why I still love her.
“I just want some answers,” he added.
Detectives have not determined whether or not Membreno’s flame will face any charges.
“She has not been charged at this point with anything,” said a high-ranking police source, who noted that charges may never come. “Lying to your boyfriend is not the same as, say, lying to the police.”
